Labour’s hypocrisy about ordering from China

By Liz S

Lies but also hypocrisy……..

Remember last week at PMQ’s the staged ‘performance’ between the then Labour MP Brian Leishman and his then Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer in respect to Alexander Dennis Bus Manufacturers.

Starmer stated that “The SNP should be backing Scottish workers” …….as he said that ” the SNP are ordering Buses from China“.

Apparently that was hilarious for many of the MP’s in the HOC as so many burst out laughing at the ‘China connection’.

Well it has now been reported that the big Labour flagship policy GB Energy has a connection to China……

So then would all of those same MP’s , especially those from the Labour party, also find this below headline from the BBC just as hilarious as Starmer’s snide comment about the SNP ordering buses from China ?………..

“‘Great British Energy solar panels’ were made in China“.

In China ?

Yes….indeed.

In fact it was reported on the BBC website under UK Politics that:

“The first schools in England to install what the (UK Labour) government described as “Great British Energy solar panels” bought them from Chinese firms, the BBC has learned”.

“The first 11 schools involved in the GB Energy scheme bought solar panels from Aiko and Longi, two Chinese firms”

However the Labour UK government had declared that this scheme was :

“The first major project for Great British Energy – a company owned by the British people, for the British people”.

However it seems that the materials and the products that were used for this GB Energy scheme were not apparently manufactured by British people in Britain but instead by Chinese people in China………..so it seems Labour are not backing ‘British workers’ or indeed British/UK manufacturers who make Solar panels.

“Labour MP Sarah Champion said GB Energy should be buying solar panels from companies in the UK rather than China“.

Labour HQ and also their branch offices are always caught out when they pretend to be indignant upon matters that they state are failures of the SNP , while their Labour HQ have themselves made identical decisions, like say order goods from the same country as the SNP have ordered from (China), but somehow that is supposed to be seen as ‘different’ for Labour and perhaps also to be seen as an exception to the (UK) rule.

Truth will out and that’s what has happened here…..as it seems Labour, as the UK government, are not averse to ordering from China themselves, especially for their UK government projects under one of their flagship policies for their UK. (GB Energy).

The hypocrisy comes in when they, Labour, under their leader, Keir Starmer, tries to gain an undeserved political advantage from what they say are bad and wrong decisions that have been made by another political party who govern elsewhere in the UK.

Then for Labour to present those decisions made by that other party (SNP) as being somehow unique only to that other party (SNP), when Labour and their leader have made the exact same decisions.

  1. Great British Energy is a system where Scotland produces the CHEAPEST electricity in Europe, and then pays for the infrastructure to ship it off to England, where they can utilise it to support jobs in tech, car manufacturing and steel production.

    Scotland will see none of this, because it will have no price advantage over England for the very cheap electricity it produces. Indeed Scotland under this system will pay to support expensive nuclear generation which England REQUIRES to keep on the lights.

    Meanwhile the gloating Sarwar “Scorrish” (sic) Puppet Party MPs will vote for this shite which will see their constituents disadvantages in a country that is colder and wetter than its powerful neighbour.

    The electors will have the final say, in spite of the colonial mejah which tries its best to hide the truth.

  3. It should be named ‘great English energy’ because that is what they really mean by ‘British’.
    Scotland, you are so conned and scammed, do everythig you can to escape the not ‘great British’, before it’s too late. :-/

  4. To be fair Liz, China exceeds the capacity of any other country by far in production of solar panels and associated kit, against which no UK manufacturer can compete….

    Great British Energy was always going to be a PR exercise to try flogging nuclear and convince the public they have not lost control, there’ll be a Great British Water along shortly…
